CBS San Diego: Fall Wellness

Fall is the perfect time for a little health and wellness reset — starting with what we put on our plates. October is National Seafood Month, and it’s a great reminder to reel in more nutrient-rich seafood to support heart, brain, and immune health.

Choose Certified Sustainable Seafood

The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is an environmental non-profit dedicated to sustainable fishing and maintaining healthy oceans. MSC is a certification program with an ecolabel that can be found on seafood packaging. Shoppers can look for the MSC blue fish label on seafood products to know their fish is wild-caught, meets high standards for environmental sustainability, and is verified by a third party.

MSC-certified seafood is widely available across the grocery store — fresh, frozen, canned, and even in supplements and pet food — at a range of price points, making it accessible no matter your budget.

Support Heart Health with Real Food

Fall is also a great time to focus on heart health, especially as we head into the holiday season. Founded by a preventive cardiologist and proven effective at Mayo Clinic, Step One Foods helps lower cholesterol naturally through real food. Each product delivers clinically effective amounts of fiber, plant sterols, antioxidants, and omega-3s, and the 30-Day Starter Pack makes it easy. People who follow the program have seen an average nine percent drop in LDL cholesterol in just 30 days.

Strengthen Bones This Season

October is not just pumpkin season — it’s also Osteoporosis Awareness Month, a timely reminder to take care of your bone health. Sparkle Wellness Osteo Boost supports bone health from the inside out. It’s formulated with FORTIBONE® bioactive collagen peptides, which have been clinically studied to support bone strength and help maintain healthy bone mineral density with daily use over time.

It’s available in three varieties — orange, mixed berry, and unflavored — so you can easily mix it into water, smoothies, or your favorite drink.

Support Longevity from Within

Finally, support your longevity with Primeadine® from Oxford Healthspan, often referred to as the “Swiss Army Knife of Longevity” supplements because it targets nine of the twelve hallmarks of aging. By activating autophagy, Primeadine® helps clear damaged cells and supports renewal, while also addressing inflammation, stem cell dysfunction, and gut imbalance.

It mimics the benefits of fasting — renewing cells and mitochondria — without having to skip meals or risk muscle loss. In fact, a recent German study shows that without spermidine, you won’t experience the same cell renewal benefits of fasting. The Oxford Healthspan founder truly walks the talk, having reversed her autoimmune diagnoses through lifestyle changes and supplementation.
